Pope has absolute monarchic rule over the Church. He could appoint 1,000 if he wanted to and could remove the ones appointed by previous popes. He could even, in theory, directly appoint his successor.
Ah, yes. There it is. I've been wondering about that.
Why are they promoting the dumb Benevacantist story?
(As if apostate Benedict was some kind of rigid trad in contrast to Jorge)
Perhaps it's so they can sell the story that poor, poor (Apostate Antipope) Benedict
was held hostage in the Vatican by the gαy mafia
and forced to resign against his will.
But no worries, he secretly appointed Vigano as the next pope.
